National Semiconductor LP3982 Micropower Ultra Low-Dropout Low-Noise 300mA CMOS Regulator Manual
The LP3982 is a low‑dropout (LDO) CMOS linear regulator available in several fixed‑output versions and an adjustable version. It delivers up to 300 mA of output current and is packaged in an 8‑pin MSOP or LLP footprint, making it pin‑compatible with Maxim’s MAX8860. Designed for battery‑powered applications, it features a 1 nA typical shutdown current, 90 µA typical quiescent current, and a typical dropout voltage of 120 mV at 300 mA.
The device includes a bandgap reference, error amplifier, PMOS pass transistor, fault detection, and thermal overload protection. It is stable with small ceramic output capacitors (2.2 µF typical) and offers a 60 dB typical power‑supply‑rejection ratio. Application information covers output‑voltage setting, capacitor selection, shutdown operation, and typical performance curves.
